Google's Coral NPU Integrated into Synaptics SL2610 Edge AI SoCs

Google has introduced the Coral NPU, a full-stack, open-source RISC-V-based platform for always-on AI on low-power edge devices and wearables.

The first chip to integrate the Coral NPU is the upcoming Synaptics Astra SL2610 family. The Coral NPU aims to address software fragmentation on entry-level AI accelerators.

By releasing an open-source NPU and associated source code, Google hopes its design will be adopted by silicon vendors, reduce software fragmentation over time, and help machine learning (ML) developers bring products to market faster.

The Coral NPU simplified block diagram is available, showcasing the platform's design.
